There were lots of very close incorrects. Madrid and Barcelona were guessed a lot and were the 12th and 13th oldest. Hamburg was an excellent answer as it had few submissions and just missed - being the 11th oldest. Tokyo was another common incorrect that was very close, 15th oldest.

Best correct answers to get in terms of frequency were Glasgow, Athens and Philadelphia.

Nobody got Budapest, perhaps not surprisingly. It's a nice city.

There are 33 policy pages on Joe Biden's platform on joebiden.com. Which are the ten highest by word count?

I will be lenient with the titles of the policies, if your answer is more or less what the policy is about, I will give the point. The one with the least amount of words dedicated to it is "Bankruptcy Reform".

Open questions.

Question 6 - Deadline: Saturday, August 1st, 3PM Eastern Time/Noon Pacific Time/8PM British Summer Time

Quote:

Simon Sebag Montefiore, one of our pre-eminent historians, presents the lives of the giants who have made our world. The cast varies from conquerors, poets, kings, empresses and whores to psychopaths, composers and explorers. Informative, entertaining, inspiring and sometimes horrifying, this is a history of the world that contains the stories and characters that everyone should know and no one should forget.

This book was published in 2012 and has a short 3 page biography of about 200 subjectively chosen people considered by the author to be "Titans of History."

The biographies are organized chronologically by (sometimes estimated) date of birth. The 11th biography is of the Athenian statesman Alcibiades.

Who are the earliest ten Titans of History?

I did a little fact checking too about a couple controversial ones but I think this is pretty good. The only change I made after looking at all of them is removing Kenya. They have a couple people of dubious historical existence too but only countries that don't affect this list.
